After watching this episode, I had to immediately go read all about narwhals. (I admit; I had never even heard of them.) Anyway, fun fact: a group of narwhals is called a “blessing.” That seems fitting as I know all will want to purchase the sixth design for such a worthy cause. Have fun at Market, and I’m glad the new guy seems to be working out well as good help these days is so hard to find. :-)
Bill read your comment to me last night and let me tell you, we both started crying. How perfectly appropriate that a group of narwhals is called a blessing. Thank you so much ❤
Love the new designs! The polar plunge series sparks my memories of supporting NY Special Olympics every year by doing a polar plunge! It was so much fun and sometimes, unbelievably cold, but worth every second, since Special Olympics is near and dear to my heart. Also will definitely be getting the Oh Canada chart!
I love your videos, your designs, your kind hearts. It is fun watching such a sincere husband and wife team who love what they do together. Super cool in my book! Thank you!
I am always so excited to see Nashville releases, but especially yours! Once again, I have to have them all! Thank you for always keeping this wonderful community excited! Enjoy Nashville!❤️🪡
Enjoy Nashville! You’ll be in my neck of the woods as I’m just about an hour south in Alabama! I love the Polar Plunge series and the Narwahl story. It’s those stories that make life sweet for those of us with special needs kiddos! All your designs are amazing and my wish list keeps growing! I enjoy watching the two of you……such great fun even with all the hard work going on behind the scenes! Safe travels!
I am in awe of your story about your Special Olympics release! I am a 17 year Special Olympics Pennsylvania volunteer, parent of an athlete who still plays multiple sports 17 yrs later, Secretary of our local management team, a unified athlete in bowling, an athlete leadership mentor … and I was very honored to be chosen to participate in USA games in Orlando last June …. I say all this because we are completely VOLUNTEER LED! We raise the funds so that our 200+ athletes can participate free of charge. We fundraise, fundraise and fundraise again. My county is Lebanon County Special Olympics in Special Olympics Pennsylvania. All our local Polar Plunges are going on now. Brrrrrr … thank you, thank you, thank you! I wish I could’ve come up with this idea.
Thank you for telling me your story! I wish we had met in Orlando at the National Games. We spent most of our time at the tennis facility with our son so didn’t get to see a lot of the other venues. What an amazing experience. We are the largest parent led delegation in IA so I understand everything you are saying about the time and money that it takes. It is such a fulfilling experience - the athletes, the families. ❤️
I am so excited for your new designs, Cathy! I love the Between Friends series - the book looks gorgeous! - and I'm very excited for the polar designs. As you were listing your upcoming critters for release, I did a happy dance when you mentioned the narwhal will be #6. The unicorn of the sea! They're the best, and I can't wait to see how you charted him :) Thanks for some laughs during this video; you and Mr. HOD make a great team. Safe travels to Nashville!
Thanks Caitlin! I wasn't kidding when I said that this was my favorite group of market releases - each one satisfied a different part of my creative soul!
You’ve outdone yourself with this year’s Nashville Market designs!! My favorite will be to stitch and finish the Polar Plunge set. And that the narwhal is the special piece melts my heart because I’ve always just loved this unique creature, even stitched one for my first grandchild. Have fun at Market! ❤
Thank you, thank you for doing a Canadian-themed design!! I will be getting it for sure! (And the American one - both to be displayed in July!) Please do more!!
I love the narwhal story❤️❤️❤️. What a perfect choice for the fundraising design. The Polar Plunge series is adorable! And I love the spring pillow trio! The colors are beautiful! Safe travels to Market! Hope you have a great time there!
I love everything about this video!! Your designs are wonderful, your giving to charity is fantastic and your relationship and ability to work together is inspiring! So glad to have been able to stitch for you and can't wait to start stitching the Polar Plunge charts 💕
Many thanks to YOU for being a part of the Nashville Releases!! They turned out great & I really appreciate your resilience, beautiful stitches & speedy needle!!
Oh, Cathy, I love the Polar Bear. He is the cutest. I will definitely get the polar pack. They are the cutest. My grandson has down syndrome and he has participated in the special olympics, and just loved it. I love that you are so supportive of this organization. Thank you for all that you do. Have a fun, safe trip over to Nashville. Diane
That's awesome - what sports does he compete in? I just love hearing about athletes in other areas. Being able to go to the National Games twice now has really made me appreciate the size & need of this organization.
I just love the new Mad for Plaid series and have already purchased the seasonal chart. I can’t wait to get the Easter and Canada charts. I am Canadian and must say thank you so much for thinking of us in your designs!
❤❤❤ the polar plunge series! Special Olympics is a major part of our lives. My husband and my athlete have plunged and will again in about a week. I have not plunged because someone has to be waiting on dry land with warm towels, right? 😉 (No way you are getting me in that cold, gross lake.)
I love the Polar Plunge designs and the work that you are doing with it. So glad that you are doing the pdf because there are many of us that want to help your cause in Iowa for Billy and his friends. It is always a joy to see the pictures you share from the Olympics. Mad for Plaid is another favorite. Can't wait to stitch the seasons. As always I enjoyed the video. Have a sage and productive trip to Nashville.
Can’t wait to do the polar plunge ornaments - you picked the perfect number - one for each of my grandchildren. Love your designs so much and you two are the kindest ❤
I went to Etsy and ordered from a shop I always order from, preorder all three of the Polar Plunge and also got the board pack, I hope there is 6 boards in pack, nothing was mention, of how many, but I hope! Couldn’t take a chance of not ordering them their too cute. Love your designs!
Oh my gosh, this episode made me laugh (as they ALL do!) and cry at the same time. LOVE the Narwhal story and cannot wait for that one to be released. I've already pre-ordered all of them!!!
I am looking forward to all your designs! Have a great time at Market and visiting with all your friends! Thank you both so very much! Take care and safe travels!😍♥️👏
You two are fabulous!! I LOVE the polar plunge series!! Can’t wait to make all of them. Your story about the Narwhal is heartwarming! Enjoy Nashville! Can’t wait to get your new designs!
I am excited to get your Polar Plunge looking forward to Puffin design!! You both are amazing to see the teamwork and support. Love everything from HOD : ) Do not have any butterflies or uncertainty in what you share - you work speaks for itself - I love the detail and the story behind the design - you should include your design story with the pattern/kit : )
Love them ALL and love all your stories! I am 64 years old and have always loved the Memory game. I still have the ORIGINAL memory game from when I was a kid. Over the past few years I’ve started collecting all different varieties of the memory game - one is donuts, in the shape of donuts! But my favorite is of very psychedelic patterns - definitely the hardest one because many of the designs are extremely similar. Good luck at Market!
I don't know if I have any of the original games we used - they are probably in his house. He & his roommates have regular game nights so I'm sure they get used (although I know they have moved on to Monopoly!)
Such a fun Nashville Market Reveal Video - all wonderful designs, especially drawn to the Polar Plunge designs! Best wishes for a wonderful market and extra time to relax. Take care.
Love love love the mad for plaid series. Any thought about one for the bedroom? Perfume, lipstick, etc. the box would be cute holding vintage handkerchiefs, gloves, small perfume bottles Farmhouse chickens, barns. Oh my goodness endless ideas
You two are really a very lovely couple! I so enjoy watching the both of you and stitching your patterns. Am looking forward to the new ones being released. You can bet I’ll be buying your 6th Polar Plunge ❤️
Oh Cathy! That never happens ! Their isn’t one design you have ever made that isn’t a Rockstar! I adore them all from way back to the newest of new! ❤ blessings and prayers to you both always and safe travels!❤😊
Omg. Had to go to Stephanie’s site and grab that fabric for the polar plunge!!! It’s soooooo cute. And a book???? And more plaid???? And those pillows!!! Omg. I just love you and your talents so much!!! Mr HOD is amazing and lucky man to have you. Love you guys! ❤❤
@@HandsOnDesign he has done bowling, basketball skills and track. How about your son? We just started ABA therapy this year so we didn’t participate this year but hopefully next year we will.
I love your polar plunge designs. Your Narwhal story is precious. I worked in a group home with special needs kids and one kid loved to play memory games too. Happy to support special Olympics. ❤️
I will definitely get polar plunge. ❤. The polar pack finishing I love. I purchased mad for plaid and the finishing piece a couple weeks ago. So fun! Your such a creative designer.
The Special Olympics is a wonderful program. I had a sister with Cornelia de Lang syndrome and she went to the Special Olymoics once sometime between 1978 and 1981. I love that series!
It is a wonderful program. I first became aware of it when I was a young girl & my cousin participated. It has really helped to open doors for athletes physically & socially. Like you, we have experienced a direct benefit from the organization. I'm glad that your sister was able to participate.
Wonderful new charts for Nashville! Your Polar Plunge series is so cute and perfect for being a huge fundraiser for Special Olympics! Enjoy your time in Nashville and safe travels!
I love your craft area! How do those blue doors behind you open though, lol? 😂 All your designs are so cool and most have such special meaning to you. It is invigorating watching you guys with all your enthusiasm! ❤❤❤❤
The blue doors are barn doors. I searched high & low when we built this house. We made a dedicated area for the studio since it's where we work. We're inside so it's hard to see the other side. We will be doing some renovation in April since we are taking over the whole lower level. We will have to do a little tour when it's all together! (we had the doors closed so the animals would not keep coming through...they were particularly needy that day!!) ;)
Just found you! Love your Canada pattern complete with the moose, and yes I have had a moose in my backyard. Love it! My son volunteers at our local Polar Plunge for Special Olympics it was this past weekend. Happy to have found your flosstube.
Love The Polar Plunge Series! Cathy your creativity is amazing everything you come out with I love. I hope to take one of your classes some day. I have already preordered the first polar plunge ornies, I look forward to the rest of them. I have a feeling I will be stitching quite a few multiples of them for family as gifts. 😊
I’m loving that the wood is being supplied and all of the finishing instructions are going to be there. I bought the Plaid charts along with the shelf. I gave an idea for the color, found a wood stain I’ve been wanting to use. Love doing my own finishing work and getting g ideas from others is something I enjoy. Have fun in Nashville at market.
Loved all your designs, looking forward getting all 6 of the polar plunge,,, heck I’m wanting it all you showed who am I kidding. Ty both for all you do. Stay safe Have a great time!
So many designs! I love the idea of your between friends series…..so fun. The birthday mad for plaid is so cute! Your Polar Plunge series is epic! Thanks for sharing your story of the special olympics. Can’t wait to see the narwhal design! Enjoy market. It will be so different with both of you participating. I hope you did get a happy hour in sometime after the video. Blessings and take care.
New subscruber and watcher. I love love love the polar peek and can't wait to get mine to start stitching!! Your support for Special Olympics is immeasurable. You guys are good people!!
Great work on your new releases. I live in White Bear Lake, and every year there is a Polar Plunge, into White Bear Lake, for the Winter Carnival festivities. I will HAVE to stitch the new Polar Plunge ornaments!! Awesome!!
Love the Polar Plunge ornaments ! I must have them as I also have a disabled adult son who used to participate in Special,Olympics in Illinois. This is dear to my heart. Can’t wait to purchase!
Your pillow fronts would make awesome project bag fronts! I can’t wait to try it. Thank you for O Canada, it is on my list….the maple leaves are adorable. I plan to do all of your ornaments…so cute and such a good organization….we had a boat called narwhal!
this video was so much fun - I had several laugh-out-loud moments! Loving everything you showed...have now pre-ordered fabric, finishing boards, patterns and ordered the On the Edge finishing stand. Love the polar plunge ornaments and will definitely be ordering the narwhal (btw, a group of narwhals is called a blessing). I'm delighted you are using Cosmo for some of your designs - I fell in love with the solids and their varigated threads (Cosmo Seasons) years ago. I've always been a huge fan of your patterns. I love the wonderful colors you use - I don't think I've ever changed the colors (as I often do on other patterns) and your humor (Oh Whale is one of my favorites and I'm making Resting Beach Face for my BFF who is a life guard during the summer). Have a safe trip to Market.
Someone told us about the group of Narwhals being called a blessing & I cannot think of anything more perfect!! I can't wait to share the design with you!
I loved the video. The new release’s are amazing. I loved hearing you talk about the Special Olympics! I have a special needs grandson who has Autism and we play flash cards with him and it’s fun to watch him point out what we call out. So my ears perked up when you talked about how his vocabulary was so good.
@@gaylewilson4259 Billy was delayed verbal then regressed. We actually learned some sign language (the sign for bathroom or potty was how we got through potty training). I wish back then that I could have had just a tiny glimpse of who he would become. It would have given us so much hope. Every journey is different.
I love the mad for plaid series. I did the autumn freebie and the wonderful Faye Riggsbee finished it into a pillow. I did it on 32ct vintage country mocha with dmc threads. I am putting the last few stitches on winter plaid. I will all mine done into pillows. I love the new ones.🥰
Love the new designs and the meaning behind them!
Thank you so much!! ♥♥

You two are so cute together! Already have one of the basket series, guess I'll be getting more.Enjoy market and keep having pillow 'fights'!
Haha - no pillow fights with the models...that's my motto!! ;)
Love the new designs! The polar plunge series sparks my memories of supporting NY Special Olympics every year by doing a polar plunge! It was so much fun and sometimes, unbelievably cold, but worth every second, since Special Olympics is near and dear to my heart. Also will definitely be getting the Oh Canada chart!
Congrats on taking the Plunge. I just can't...so I'm doing it my way ;)
Thanks so much for thinking of us Canadian stitchers ... love the "Oh Canada" chart !!
I just can't say it without singing it wither out loud or in my head!!!
Love the Canada addition. I’ll be buying that for sure.
Yay!!!
I love your videos, your designs, your kind hearts. It is fun watching such a sincere husband and wife team who love what they do together. Super cool in my book! Thank you!

Love all your videos, designs, and personalities! Love how you give back. Thank you both.
Thank you for always being such a great supporter of HOD!

I hope so!
I love to support Special Olympics and will be joining in!
Love your new designs!
Glad you like them!
Yay for Special Olympics!!!

Great work on your new releases. I live in White Bear Lake, and every year there is a Polar Plunge, into White Bear Lake, for the Winter Carnival festivities. I will HAVE to stitch the new Polar Plunge ornaments!! Awesome!!
White Bear Lake sounds like the perfect name for a Polar Plunge venue!!
You guys are awesome. I love the ideal polar plunge. I have put my order in .
Awesome! Thank you!
I giggled at the narwhal story; that is awesome (He would totally beat me at Memory!)!
He beats everyone at the memory game!!! ;)
Love, love, LOVE everything! Espe ially the Polar Plunge!! Can't wait!!! Safe travels
Thank you!!
Love the Polar Plunge ornaments ! I must have them as I also have a disabled adult son who used to participate in Special,Olympics in Illinois. This is dear to my heart. Can’t wait to purchase!
Nice - what sports did he compete in!! I love hearing about athletes in other areas!
Mostly track during grade school and middle school
Love your releases, love the Special Olympic releases
Thank you!!
Loved this video! Already ordered the polar plunge kit. And probably ever thing you’re releasing at market. Have a fun and safe trip. ❤
Awesome! Thank you!
❤❤❤ everything!
Thank you!!
Your pillow fronts would make awesome project bag fronts! I can’t wait to try it. Thank you for O Canada, it is on my list….the maple leaves are adorable. I plan to do all of your ornaments…so cute and such a good organization….we had a boat called narwhal!
So I've got to ask...did the boat have a horn ;) ;) Yes, the pillows are perfect for a project bag!
@@HandsOnDesign ….yes our boat had a three foot horn out front.
@@karenrowell2180 awesome!!!
The polar bear is my favorite. Have fun at market🌻🌻
Thank you!! Yes, he is a cutie!
I love the eagles in the patriotic made for plaid.
They are pretty cool. We have eagles that nest not too far from us. I love when they swoop over the house!
So great we DO HAVE MOOSE INOUR BACKYARD.......🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 THANKS YOU
Oh good!!! I was relying heavily on Google & what was available in a Hobby Lobby in Iowa!! ;)
this video was so much fun - I had several laugh-out-loud moments! Loving everything you showed...have now pre-ordered fabric, finishing boards, patterns and ordered the On the Edge finishing stand. Love the polar plunge ornaments and will definitely be ordering the narwhal (btw, a group of narwhals is called a blessing). I'm delighted you are using Cosmo for some of your designs - I fell in love with the solids and their varigated threads (Cosmo Seasons) years ago. I've always been a huge fan of your patterns. I love the wonderful colors you use - I don't think I've ever changed the colors (as I often do on other patterns) and your humor (Oh Whale is one of my favorites and I'm making Resting Beach Face for my BFF who is a life guard during the summer). Have a safe trip to Market.
Someone told us about the group of Narwhals being called a blessing & I cannot think of anything more perfect!! I can't wait to share the design with you!
I loved the video. The new release’s are amazing. I loved hearing you talk about the Special Olympics! I have a special needs grandson who has Autism and we play flash cards with him and it’s fun to watch him point out what we call out. So my ears perked up when you talked about how his vocabulary was so good.
I remember the Speech Therapist telling us that Billy knew words that most other 5 & 6 year olds didn't. Amazing what we learn from 'games'.
@@HandsOnDesign my grandson is nonverbal so Billy’s journey gives me hope that he will start taking soon!
@@gaylewilson4259 Billy was delayed verbal then regressed. We actually learned some sign language (the sign for bathroom or potty was how we got through potty training). I wish back then that I could have had just a tiny glimpse of who he would become. It would have given us so much hope. Every journey is different.
Polar Plunge -sooooo cute!
Thank you!!
From the other side of the state, hello from southeast Iowa! I am fairly new to flosstube so I really am taking in alot of videos! Love your designs!!
Welcome to FlossTube & YAY Iowa!!
Fabulous releases!
Thank you!
I love the mad for plaid series. I did the autumn freebie and the wonderful Faye Riggsbee finished it into a pillow. I did it on 32ct vintage country mocha with dmc threads. I am putting the last few stitches on winter plaid. I will all mine done into pillows. I love the new ones.🥰
Wonderful!
Your designs are all so wonderful!!!!
Thank you so much!
